Higher
Rising from Despair: A Journey of Redemption in 'Higher'
Lyrics
It was only just a few short years ago
Reflecting on a period just a few years in the past.
I was thinking bout’ the fires that I once owned
Contemplating past experiences or achievements, possibly related to personal accomplishments represented by "fires."
My misery had found its wings and had its way
Describing a period of emotional distress that was influential and dominant.
Rocking, falling, sinking to my knees was every day
Experiencing a state of instability and vulnerability, constantly facing challenges.
I was higher
Expressing a feeling of elevation or transcendence.
I was like a burning ember floating in the wind
Comparing oneself to a burning ember carried by the wind, possibly symbolizing fragility and unpredictability.
I was tired
Feeling fatigued or drained.
And now I’ve found my way back home to you again
Having successfully returned to a familiar and comforting place or relationship.
Ooh oh ooh
Indicating emotional expression, possibly a vocalization or a melodic element.
Why did it always take so much to play my hand
Questioning the effort required to take action or make decisions.
I reached my limit found that I no longer can
Acknowledging personal limitations and an inability to continue a certain behavior.
My history had found its way upon the shelf
Referring to a past filled with experiences now stored away, possibly metaphorically placing them on a shelf.
Collecting dust and yearning blindly for my desperate self
Expressing neglect and longing for a former self, obscured by the passage of time.
I was higher
Reiterating the feeling of elevation or transcendence.
I was like a burning ember floating in the wind
Repeating the metaphor of being like a burning ember in the wind, emphasizing vulnerability and unpredictability.
I was tired
Restating a sense of exhaustion or weariness.
And now I’ve found my way back home to you again
Reaffirming the return to a comforting and familiar place or relationship.
Ooh oh ooh
Concluding with an emotional expression, possibly a melodic element or a vocalization.
